Zoom a web page without increasing scrollbar width? or specify scrollbar width?

I have a website where there is a fixed-size, floating menu.

The menu does not change size when the browser is zoomed (well, it's shrunk back to the original size when zoomed).

The point is to be able to browser-zoom in on a big photograph while keeping a small navigational menu on top of everything.

The problem is that when one zooms in to look at details of the photograph (cmd+), the scrollbars get huge and start to take over the screen visually.

Is there any way to specify the size of the scrollbars so that they will still appear but not get so big?

The scroll bars vary throughout the different browsers and versions.

In older versions of IE this is might be a problem, but in the most recent version of Chrome it doesn't seem to be.

But as for keeping the small navigational menu, use percents to describe the CSS value of the menu so it takes up a defined portion of the page.
